San Francisco’s Animal Control and Welfare Commission is renewing its call for a pet sale ban, which supporters say will discourage impulse buys of animals and encourage adoption. The ban would prohibit retail sales of dogs, cats, birds, small animals, reptiles, amphibians and aquarium fish.

Guests:

Michael Maddox, vice president of governmental affairs and general counsel with the Pet Industry Joint Advisory Council

Philip Gerrie, commissioner with the San Francisco Animal Control and Welfare Commission
